Ci Council Agenda Summary Sheet
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute documents updating the City's
Agenda Caption: pending grant application for hiring two patrol positions.
Meeting Date: June 10, 2010
Department: Police
Staff Person making presentation: Bryan Williams
Police Chief
Item Summary:
The Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) has opened the COPS Hiring Program (CHP) and
will award $298 million to address the full-time sworn officer needs of state, local and tribal law enforcement
agencies nationwide and to increase their capacity to engage in community policing. The 2010 CHP grantees will be
selected from the existing pool of 2009 COPS Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP) applications. In early June, our agency
will be invited to provide and submit targeted updates to our 2009 application so that our request can be evaluated
based on current data. There is no local match requirement for CHP. CHP grants will provide 100 percent funding for
approved entry-level salaries and benefits for 3 years for newly hired, full-time sworn officer positions.
Positions funded by the grant must be continued at the end of the three year grant period. Also, in the first year of
hire, the Department incurs $68,833 in other costs (vehicle, equipment, etc.) associated with bringing an officer on
board. In addition, the Department has a lateral entry program to entice experienced officers to come work in
Round Rock. Because the program pays the salary and benefits associated with an entry-level officer, it is possible
that the City incurs an additional $7,599 in the difference between the lateral entry starting wage and the normal
entry-level wage. This is only a possibility; therefore these funds are not included in the in-kind match.
Strategic Plan Relevance:
The goal of this grant is to increase the policing capacity in Round Rock. This supports the City's Strategic Goal 30.0
— Residents, Visitors and Businesses continue to experience a high and timely level of public safety and security. This
also supports Goal 2 of the Police Department's Strategic Plan to "Plan For And Adapt To Change", by increasing the
Department's ability to plan and implement appropriate law enforcement responses to new economic
developments. (Strategy A). This also supports Goal 4: Expand & Improve Community Relationships by providing
opportunities for more officers to interact with the community.

COPS Hiring Recovery Program (GHRF) Application
COPS Application Attachment to SF -424
The COPS Hiring Recovery Program (CHRP) is a competitive grant program that provides funding directly
to law enforcement agencies having primary law enforcement authority to create and preserve jobs and to
increase their community policing capacity and crime -prevention efforts. CHRP funding is available to hire
full-time career law enforcement officers. There is no local matching requirement, but grant funding will be
based on your agency's current entry-level salaries and benefits for sworn officer positions. Any additional
costs for higher salaries and benefits for positions hired under the CHRP grant must be paid for by the
grantee agency.
In preparing your agency's grant application, please be advised that grantees are prohibited from reducing
state, local, or tribal funding for sworn officer positions as a direct result of applying for and/or receiving this
CHRP grant. Instead, this program is intended to supplement the amount of state, local, or tribal funding that
your agency would otherwise be able to budget for sworn officer positions.
In addition, at the conclusion of federal funding, grantees must retain all sworn officer positions awarded
under the CHRP grant. The retained CHRP-funded positions should be added to your agency's law
enforcement budget with state and/or local funds, over and above the number of locally -funded sworn officer
positions that would have existed in the absence of the grant.
To the extent possible, all data should come from a publicly verifiable source, and documentation may be
requested by the COPS Office. This information will be used to evaluate your jurisdiction's need for federal
assistance to address its public safety needs and to preserve and create jobs.

TX24605
SECTION 3: CHRP PROGRAM REQUEST
Your agency may apply for COPS funds to use on or after the official grant award start date to hire new,
additional officer positions (including filling existing unfunded vacancies) or rehire officers who have
already been laid off, or are currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date, as a result of state, local or
tribal budget reductions. Please base your application request on your agency's current anticipated needs for
funding in these primary categories. Please also be mindful of the initial three-year grant period and your
agency's ability to fill and retain the officer positions awarded, while following your agency's established
hiring policies and procedures.
As described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide, it is imperative that applicants understand that the
COPS statute nonsupplanting requirement mandates that CHRP funds may be used only to supplement
(increase) a grantee's law enforcement budget for sworn officer positions and may not supplant (replace)
state, local, or tribal funds that a grantee otherwise would have spent on officer positions if it had not
received a CHRP award. This means that if your agency plans to:
(a) Hire new officer positions (including filling existing officer vacancies that are no longer funded in
your agency's budget): It must hire these additional positions on or after the official grant award start
date, above its current budgeted (funded) level of sworn officer positions, and otherwise comply with
the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant
Owner's Manual;
(b) Rehire officers who have already been laid off (at the time of application) as a result of state, local,
or tribal budget cuts: It must rehire the officers on or after the official grant award start date, maintain
documentation showing the date(s) that the positions were laid off and rehired, and otherwise comply
with the nonsupplanting requirement as described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant
Owner's Manual;
(c) Rehire officers who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a future date
as a result of state, local, or tribal budget cuts: It must continue to fund the officers with its own funds
from the grant award start date until the date of the scheduled lay-off (for example, if the CHRP award
start date is September 1 and the lay-off is scheduled for November 1, then the CHRP funds may not be
used to fund the officers until November 1, the date of the scheduled lay-off), identify the number and
date(s) of the scheduled lay-off(s) in this application [see below], maintain documentation showing the
date(s) and reason(s) for the lay-off, and otherwise comply with the nonsupplanting requirement as
described in detail in the CHRP Application Guide and Grant Owner's Manual. [Please note that as
long as your agency can document the date that the lay-off(s) would occur if the CHRP funds were not
available, it may transfer the officers to the CHRP funding on or immediately after the date of the lay-
off without formally completing the administrative steps associated with a lay-off for each individual
officer.]
Documentation that may be used to prove that scheduled lay-offs are occurring for local economic
reasons that are unrelated to the availability of CHRP grant funds may include (but are not limited to)
council or departmental meeting minutes, memoranda, notices, or orders discussing the lay-offs; notices
provided to the individual officers regarding the date(s) of the lay-offs; and/or budget documents
ordering departmental and/or jurisdiction -wide budget cuts. These records must be maintained with
your agency's CHRP grant records during the grant period and for three years following the official
closeout of the CHRP grant in the event of an audit, monitoring, or other evaluation of your grant
compliance.
TX24605
When completing the questions below, please base your responses on your agency's current (at the time of
application) needs for funding in the three hiring categories (new hires, rehires of previously laid off officers,
and rehiring officers who are scheduled to be laid off on a specific future date). CHRP grant awards will be
made for officer positions requested in each of these three categories and recipients of CHRP awards are
required to use awarded funds for the specific categories awarded.
During the review of your agency's application, if the COPS Office reduces the number of positions you
requested in the application, the COPS Office may contact you to obtain a new number of officer positions
requested in each category.
How many CHRP sworn officer positions is your agency requesting (total)? 2
How many of the positions will be:
(a) To hire new, additional officer positions (including to fill existing vacancies that are no longer
funded in your agency's budget)?
2
(b) To rehire officers who have already been laid off (at the time of application) as a result of state,
local, or tribal budget reductions?
0
(c) To rehire officers who are (at the time of application) currently scheduled to be laid off on a specific
future date as a result of state, local, or tribal budget reductions?

Special Reminder for Rehired Officers:
The CHRP program awards funding based on your agency's entry-level salary and benefits
package. Any additional (higher than entry-level) salary and benefits expenses for rehired
officers must be paid by your agency.
Certification Regarding Scheduled Lay -Offs:
If your agency plans to use CHRP funds to rehire officers who are currently scheduled to be laid
off on a future date (under category c above), please certify (by checking the appropriate boxes) to
the following:
TX24605
Certification:
O My agency has and will maintain documentation showing the date(s) of the scheduled lay-off(s)
and demonstrating that the scheduled lay-off(s) is/are occurring for fiscal reasons that are
unrelated to the availability or receipt of CHRP grant funds (as described above).
O My agency will use its own funds to continue funding these officers until the scheduled date(s)
of the lay-off(s) and will use CHRP funds to rehire these officers only on or after the scheduled
date of the lay-off(s).
O My agency recognizes that the CHRP program provides funding based on our entry-level salary
and benefits package and that any additional costs for rehired officers beyond entry-level are our
responsibility to pay with other sources of funding.
If an applicant receives an award, and after receiving the awards needs to change the hiring categories, it
must request a post -award grant modification to change the categories of hiring and receive prior approval
before spending CHRP funding by calling the COPS Office Response Center at 1-800-421-6770.
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) requires grantees to report their financial and
programmatic progress within 10 days after the end of each calendar quarter. The Recovery Act reporting
requirements are in addition to quarterly financial status report and quarterly programmatic progress report
requirements. The COPS Office plans to request information from grantees consistent with Section 1512 of
the Recovery Act, including collecting information on the number of new jobs created and the number of
jobs preserved using CHRP funding. Awarded agencies will be required to submit information in a timely
manner as a condition of the award. The COPS Office is then required to post data from grantee reports to
Recovery.gov. Please be advised that the submission of programmatic and financial reports on a timely basis
is a significant condition of the CHRP grant and a violation of the grant requirement may result in
termination of grant funding or other remedies.
In order to aid in compliance with the reporting requirements, awarded agencies should be prepared to track
and report CHRP funding separately from other funding sources (including other COPS and federal grants) to
ensure accurate financial and programmatic reporting on a timely basis. Your agency should ensure that you
have financial internal controls in place to monitor the use of CHRP funding and ensure that its use is
consistent with grant terms and conditions. Good practices in this area would include written accounting
practices, an accounting system that tracks all drawdowns and grant expenditures, and the ability to track
when each CHRP position funded is filled or vacant (including if the position was for a new hire or a re -hire).

Community Policing Plan Narrative (please limit to 2,000 characters)
Please describe your agency's implementation plan for this program (if awarded), with specific reference to
each of the following elements of community policing: (a) community partnerships and support, including
consultation with community groups, private agencies, and/or other public agencies; (b) related governmental
and community initiatives that complement your agency's proposed use of CHRP funding; and (c)
organizational transformation — how your agency will use these funds, if awarded, to reorient its mission to
community policing or enhance its involvement in and commitment to community policing. This narrative
will not be scored for selection purposes but serves, along with the previous questions, as your agency's
community policing plan. Your organization may be audited or monitored to ensure that it is initiating or
enhancing community policing in accordance with this plan. The COPS Office may also use this information
to understand the needs of the field, and potentially provide for training, technical assistance, problem
solving and community policing implementation tools.
If your organization receives this CHRP grant funding, these responses will be considered as your
organization's community policing plan. We understand that your community policing needs may change
during the life of your CHRP grant (if awarded), and minor changes to this plan may be made without prior
approval of the COPS Office. We also recognize that this plan may incorporate a broad range of possible
community policing strategies and activities, and that your agency may implement particular community
policing strategies from the plan on an as -needed basis throughout the life of the grant. If your agency's
community policing plan changes significantly, however, you must submit those changes in writing to the
COPS Office for approval. Changes are "significant" if they deviate from the range of possible community
policing activities identified and approved in this original community policing plan submitted with your
application.
This program is specifically aimed at targeting criminal activity with personnel resources that have been
identified as needed but unable to be funded through our City's current budget. The Department has long
maintained a community policing business model that makes every patrol officer, in effect, a community
policing officer with responsibilities for issues and problems that occur in their geographic area of responsibility.
The Department believes that the best way to fight crime is to bring leadership to the community, forging
strategic partnerships that address quality -of -life issues before they become serious public safety or crime
issues. In 2005, our city went through a Ten Year planning process which included heavy citizen participation;
this process reaffirmed our Department's approach to community policing and law enforcement in general. In
addition, the Department currently participates in a federal narcotics task force and has assigned a detective to
a joint federal -local violent crime task force.
One result of the Ten Year Plan was the development of a staffing model very similar to that developed years
ago by the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The model assesses the amount of time officers have
available to respond to calls for service, as well as the average amount of time officers spend on calls for service
and self -initiated events. The model assumes that a "snapshot" of these averages should be held constant,
ensuring officers have sufficient time for self -initiated activity related to community policing. As the city has
implemented the Ten Year plan, however, there were not sufficient funds to maintain staffing in line with
increases in demand for police services. The economic downturn in March 2009 resulted in the freezing of five
officer positions in our Department. Those frozen positions, coupled, with the understaffing recommended by
the staffing model resulted in the Department being 21 officers below model -recommended staffing levels by
the end of 2009.
In Spring of 2010, four sworn positions were unfunded by the City. By bringing on additional officer positions
through federal dollars, this program allows our community policing business model to continue. Further,
funding this program allows us to continue our Department's participation in governmental initiatives that
target specific crimes.

SECTION 6: CONTINUATION OF PROJECT AFTER FEDERAL
FUNDING ENDS
Applicants must plan to retain all sworn officer positions awarded under the CHRP grant for a minimum of
12 months at the conclusion of 36 months of federal funding for each position. The retained CHRP-funded
positions should be added to your agency's law enforcement budget with state and/or local funds at the end
of grant funding, over and above the number of locally -funded sworn officer positions that would have
existed in the absence of the grant. At the time of grant application, applicants must affirm that they plan to
retain the positions and identify the planned source(s) of retention funding. We understand that your agency's
source(s) of retention funding may change during the life of the grant. Your agency should maintain proper
documentation of any changes in the event of an audit, monitoring or other evaluation of your grant
compliance. Please refer to the frequently asked questions on retention which can be found here
http://www.cops.usdoj.gov/Default.asp?Item=2115.
